Just read that a red line appearing on your console means it's overheating. People are reporting consoles that have done it after 5 minutes. Are they having a laugh though? they expect the console to overheat? Someone said an on board psu was a bad idea....

Yep seems to be quite a few issues arising , PSN had also buckled under the strain and users can't download the day one update or play online.

Loads of problems judging by Amazon reviews assuming they're legit, i hope the X1 doesn't suffer like this.

I have no doubt there will be hardware failures on day one for xbox one , it's just how many , the ps4 failure rate seems quite bad but it's difficult to judge because people don't report that their consoles working they're too busy playing it !! , I'm a little concerned that xbl may be overloaded on day one forcing me to buy disc based media !!!

I share your worries, i bought the disk based BF4 this gives me something to play incase i can't download the free Forza and Killer instinct as well as Assassins Creed 4 when i find out how much digital versions cost as i would like to get that digital.

Why don't you buy 1 game on disk to tide yourself over incase of xbl disruption, you don't have to open the game so if you're able to download ok you can then return it to the shop for a refund?

Played on a PS4 again today. Really love the controller but still launch line up leaves a lot to be desired.

Demo units only have playable demos of Fifa 14, Knack, a demo of Playroom and trailers of the other games and videos about the systems and controller.

Killzone demo would have been bettter!

Just browsing around the net alot of posts are coming up saying their PS4 has died too and not all from amazon.

I read somewhere that Amazon have processed over 1000 returns so far.

Not a good launch for Sony at all.

Not looking too good is it... The perils of launch day consoles.

I'm waiting for the next sku before buying either.

Rumours are flying around Sony have asked Amazon to stop selling the ps4 and Sony have stopped production until the faulty units have been examined, not sure how much truth there is just beware and possibly take with a pinch of salt until something official appears.

I bet that's BS.

Even if Amazon has process 1000 returns already, Sony has sold *1 million units* during the launch weekend.

Have a look at the amazon reviews, ~1000 have given it 5 stars but ~500 have given it 1 star with comments about it either being DOA or dies soon after.

30% is a massive amount.

Here is a list of current PS4 problems some with videos to be aware of.

There's a good chance a lot of those reviews are written by people with nothing better to do and don't actually own a ps4

Possibly but the issues seem to be pretty widespread, there are the same complaints all over the net atm.

I imagine it'll end up being a small percentage that are DOA and just those that are being vocal but it's not a good start for Sony.

Amazon reviews are generally a load of crap, much like user reviews on Metacritic.

Where are you getting 30% from?

Also, people who are angry or disappointed with a purchase are always more vocal online than those who are happy and satisfied and just getting on with using it.
